Anyone know how I find the ESN number for my satellite radio in my car? My subscription is up and I need to renew. First step is to get my EIN number from the iDrive but the instructions in the SeriusXM card don't match up with the realities of the display in the car.

EDIT - Put "EIN" in the title of this thread. Meant "ESN" number.

I believe you just go to satellite radio, you should see just the 1 channel if you're not subscribed, and hit the option button. You should see "show subscription info". The radio id is there.

Thanks, I'm still subscribed though. I'm on the "1 year trial" and the radio is still working after 24 months. They finally figured it out and reached out to me last week to renew the subscription.

I finally just called them. The rep tried a couple things to get the ESN, none of them matched with my i-Drive menu. She finally just gave up and looked it up via my VIN number.

Hrm. I'll take a look when I get to my car. I just had to do this a few weeks ago

That would be awesome, thanks! I don't need it anymore as the rep was able to give it to me over the phone when I gave her my VIN, but now it's just bugging me because I want to know how to do it through the car's interface. Just because.
